Tempting Duty: Although the late duke fostered him and near fathered him after his own died, Adam Deerfield, the Earl of Avonsby, was shocked to find himself selected as the Guardian for Evan Gable, the Duke of Dansbury. It was an honor he couldn't refuse and a trust he couldn't break, even if he was improperly enthralled with his new ward. Evan’s shocking act drove Adam away, but his plea to his Royal Godfather ensures that Adam is duty bound to return and to stay close, very close. But it'll take more than their blazing-hot attraction to convince his guardian that they should be bound by a different set of vows entirely. All the gossip about the unusually close relationship between the two men might be about to become the truth – at the worst possible time. Scandalizing Duty: Evan, the new Duke of Dansbury, was the only son of the man Adam considered a second father. Adam loved Evan like the younger brother he’d never had – or so Adam convinced himself. When Evan’s Godfather, the Prince Regent, named Adam, the Earl of Avonsby, as the new Duke’s guardian, it wasn’t long before the reality of their deep, potent attraction propelled them past duty. Though duty must define their roles when they ventured to London, during a prolonged tour of Evan’s Highland estate, Adam convinced himself that it was safe to make a few memories to fill the days to come when he must preside over Evan’s courtship of a proper lady. But Evan’s lifelong and decidedly non-fraternal love for Adam wasn’t safe, nor was the vengeful rage of the man who taught Evan about sex, but couldn’t win his love. Would Adam survive his forbidden Highland romp to face the Prince Regent’s well-deserved wrath? If Adam didn’t die in the Highlands, he would deserve death at the Regent’s hands, for he now committed a far worse sin than violating his honor by surrendering his body to his luscious ward. He’d also surrendered his heart. Enticing Duty: Love should trust the heart instead of the eyes. It was a lesson Adam didn’t learn before he fled the Highlands after seeing his beloved Evan cavorting with his former lover. He believed that his eyes couldn’t deceive him and Evan’s betrayal destroyed him. It sent him into hiding in his London dwelling and compelled him to hire guards to keep Evan away. He couldn’t bear to see Evan ever again. But a guardian can’t avoid his ward forever, especially if his ward is the Prince Regeant’s Godson. Being called to account by the Regeant was as inevitable as being forced to see his ward. Even if his ward was the lover who betrayed him, duty demanded that Adam safeguard Evan and his future which must include marriage to a lady fit to be a duchess. Evan understood that Adam believed he’d been betrayed. Even if Evan could convince Adam to trust his heart, could he entice his dutiful guardian into breaking every rule? And if he did, how could they share a future forbidden by his royal Godfather?
